Oxford University..Where Your Best Isn't Good Enough Since 1117.

Today the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Yet a storm is brewing, it hasn't hit yet but it is definately looming.

I have a little graph in front of me, and in it there is some interesting information. One that would frightening to media crit students everywhere.

Case studies (x3) 2000-2250 words
Long essay proposal 1000 words
Long essay 3750-4000 words
Tutorial essays (x8) 2000-2250 words

Due? Case studies...in 3 weeks. The rest..by December 13.



Things we have access to to help us accomplish this incredible amount of
scholarlyness:

107 Libraries, one of which, the Bodleian, has 8 million volumes.

A database, like JSTOR that has thousands of articles and journals that JSTOR doesnt have.

A database that has every book written in English before 1820.

The most beautiful parks to walk in that I have ever seen.

(Ps. Catherine. It looks like, though I havent figured out the loopholes yet, that I may be able to get you access to the Bodleian database...)
